Global Business Intelligence (BI) vendor, Yellowfin, has been identified

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, October 25, 2012 -- The Agile Business

solutions, identifying Yellowfin as leader across all four of the study’s
key comparative criteria:

Ease of Deployment;

“Today, businesses of all sizes are turning to self-service BI tools,
particularly those that incorporate visualization and other advanced user
interface techniques to achieve greater ease of use and faster and better
access to information and insights,” said Gleanster in a statement.
“This is partly a response to stretched IT staffs that cannot keep up
with the constant demand for new reports and analysis.”

Yellowfin CEO, Glen Rabie, said that Yellowfin’s recognition as a top-
performing vendor in the October 2012 study was reflective of its
sustained development strategy.

“At Yellowfin, our number one goal is to continue making Business
Intelligence as easy to use and consume as possible. The key to
successful BI deployments, and a strong return on investment, is to
empower as many decision-makers as possible with the ability to
understand and act on fact-based information in shorter timeframes –
that’s what Yellowfin and Agile BI are all about.”

Gleanster Research Director and report co-author, Jeff Zabin, echoed
Rabie’s sentiments regarding Agile BI, stating that “Agility speaks to
the acceleration of decision-making cycles and the need to put the right
data and tools in the hands of business users.”

The report “offers a comprehensive look at how Top Performers are using
Agile BI to enable continuous, on-demand reporting, empower non-IT
professionals with data access and drive faster, smarter business
decisions.”
